If you're feeling frustrated at this point, it's normal. If you're feeling depressed at this point because of everything happening around you, it's normal. If you're feeling anxious and worried about what the future would be and how things would pan out for you in the future, it's normal. If you're feeling disappointed with the nature of things happening all around you, in the country, in the world, it's normal. If you're feeling completely lost and lonely to yourself despite being in the middle of people at home, it's normal. If you're feeling a little nudged by people in your physical space, your home or wherever you live, emotionally when you don't find that space for emotions, to go through these emotions is absolutely normal. I know some of you have lost your dear ones. I lost so many of my close friends to COVID. This time is so strong; the second wave is taking young people. 24 year olds, 30 year olds, 26 year olds are losing their lives to COVID. Guys, it's painful, and it's normal to feel that way.

I was sitting in a park with my friend at a distance on a bench, and I saw just across on the other side, there was a massive statue, like a statue murti of a guy, and he didn't have a shirt on, like shorts. The statue had just like shorts, and it was ripped with eight pack abs and muscles, and really ripped guy, the statue. And right next to the statue was the bench, and on the bench was another guy, sitting, a real human being with his shirt off as well, summer season in America, it was hot. And he was wearing a shark, he was ripped with eight pack abs and muscles, a muscular guy. He was watching both from a distance, and the guy there, the statue, was the way he was or where it was, and the gentleman who was sitting there, despondent, his weight, holding his hand, holding his face in his hands, very, very depressed, felt really affected. I felt like I wanted to go and talk to him, but I didn't know him; he was an American man. You know, I don't want to kind of just go and interfere and get into his private space, but I felt like I wanted to help him.

Then I had a thought in my mind: here's the statue, here's the guy. Both guys don't have a shirt on, both guys have a shot on, both guys are ripped. One doesn't feel anything; the other feels. Maybe he had a heartbreak, maybe he had someone whom he loved who left this world, maybe he lost his job, maybe he was insulted by somebody. And I feel that healing doesn't begin after the pain is over. Healing begins when we go through the pain. Experiencing that real pain is a part of the healing process as well. That is a part of healing as well, you know? Like some of you guys, if you work out, you would know, right? When you're working out whichever muscle you're working, whichever part of the body you're working, you have to know one thing: that your muscles are being torn. The finer tissues of your muscles are being torn, and they cause pain. And when they cause pain, that pain, when those tissues repair themselves when you rest, is when muscles are developed. That pain is a part of healing; that pain is a part of growth. So do not resist that pain, use painkiller, resist. Let that pain come out.

I read something very interesting this morning. I was really amazed to read this. I can't remember who said it,
